Re-evaluating circuit mechanisms underlying pattern separation (2019, neutral): “As the first stage in this pathway, the dentate gyrus is thought to separate entorhinal input patterns prior to memory storage in the hippocampus (Marr, 1971; McNaughton and Morris, 1987; Yassa and Stark, 2011; Schmidt et al., 2012; Knierim and Neunuebel, 2016; Rolls, 2016).”
Hippocampal replay in the awake state: a potential physiological substrate of memory consolidation and retrieval (2011, background): “have led some to suggest that CA3 acts as an autoassociative pattern completion networ”
Model-Free Episodic Control (2016, background): “After such encoding, at a given probe state, the return associated to each possible action could be retrieved by pattern completion in the CA3 subregion [9, 21, 26, 40].”
Reactivation of Hippocampal Cell Assemblies: Effects of Behavioral State, Experience, and EEG Dynamics (1999, background): “Associative synaptic plasticity (Hebb, 1949) may result in the formation of “cell assemblies” or attractors within the hippocampal formation (Marr, 1971; McNaughton and Morris, 1987; Treves and Rolls, 1994).”

The mechanisms for pattern completion and pattern separation in the hippocampus (2013, background): “[The strong effects likely to be mediated by the mossy fibres were also emphasized by McNaughton and Morris (1987) and McNaughton and Nadel (1990)].”
Transitivity, flexibility, conjunctive representations, and the hippocampus. II. A computational analysis (2003, background): “Thus, the key to understanding the contribution of the hippocampal system on this problem is to understand how it contributes to the stronger E-switch and B-dig associations.”
Sparse activity of identified dentate granule cells during spatial exploration (2016, background): “Sparse coding in the DG has been postulated to subserve ‘pattern separation’, a key function during memory processing (McNaughton and Morris, 1987; Leutgeb et al., 2007; Myers and Scharfman, 2009; Neunuebel and Knierim, 2014).”
Conjunctive representations in learning and memory: principles of cortical and hippocampal function. (2001, methodology): “), Milner (1966) concluded that it was damage to the hippocampal formation that was critical to the extensive anterograde and the limited retrograde amnesia that was observed in these patients.”
Elements of a neurobiological theory of the hippocampus: the role of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in memory. (2003, background): “Neural network modelling studies indicate that its intrinsic anatomy and synaptic physiology could mediate the rapid encoding and distributed storage of many arbitrary associations (Marr 1971; McNaughton & Morris 1987; McClelland et al. 1995; Rolls & Treves 1998).”
